# Budget vs Bud

The clearest difference is rating: Budget at 5.0 against Bud's 4.0. Budget also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Bud's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). On price, ratings volume, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Budget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Bud asks for nothing beyond the download.

Budget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Budget's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
